Note: In FY06, the Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems (J-UCAS) program was transferred from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to be a joint Air
Force/Navy program. The J-UCAS program is being terminated and $1,830.5M is being realigned to PE0604402N in FY07-11.
(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
The Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems (J-UCAS) is a joint Air Force/Navy Capabilities Demonstration Program (CDP) to mature technologies to investigate the
technical feasibility and operational value of unmanned combat air vehicles to provide the capability for high-threat Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD),
Electronic Attack, Strike/Persistent Ground Attack and carrier based Persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. The program will
demonstrate capabilities that support both Services and enable an operational system development decision in the 2012 timeframe.
The 2005 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) of the future force requirements for the United States military recommended termination of the J-UCAS CDP. DoD,
IAW this recommendation, is terminating the J-UCAS program in FY07.
This is a BA 04 program, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes, for development of the common systems and technologies as well as the Boeing and
Northrop Grumman demonstrator programs. These funds will also cover the cost of conducting the joint operational assessment, including modeling, simulation, and
flight testing.

Effort Title
Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV)
Program Description
The Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems (J-UCAS) is a joint Air Force/Navy Capabilities Demonstration Program (CDP) to mature technologies to investigate the technical
feasibility and operational value of unmanned combat air vehicles to provide the capability for high-threat Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD), Electronic Attack,
Strike/Persistent Ground Attack and carrier based Persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. The program will demonstrate capabilities that
support both Services and enable an operational system development decision in the 2012 timeframe.
Status to Date
First flight of the X-45A took place in May 2002. In March 2004 the X-45A successfully completed an inert GPS-guided bomb demonstration and went on to demonstrate a
multi-vehicle flight test in August 2004. In December 2004 the X-45A successfully demonstrated a beyond line-of-sight SATCOM handoff and a multi-vehicle taxi
demonstration. The X-45A demonstration program, which included 63 test flights and 63.4 flight hours, was successfully completed in August 2005. The X-45C passed
mid-term design review in December 2003, the first X-45C airframe was jig loaded in June 2004 and the Final Design Review was completed in July 2005. The first flight of
the X-47A occurred in February 2003. The X-47B preliminary design review was held in March 2005 and technical baseline review occurred in October 2005.
Rationale for Termination
The 2005 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) of the future force requirements for the United States military recommended termination of the Joint Unmanned Combat Air
Systems (J-UCAS) Capability Demonstration Program. The Department of Defense is focusing its resources on delivering required capabilities to combatant commanders
and the J-UCAS CDP does not directly deliver a combat capability. Accordingly, the Department will focus on specific areas of the overall joint capabilities portfolio to
deliver capability to the warfighter. The Department of the Air Force will focus resources on delivering a new long-range strike capability. The Department of the Navy will
conduct an aircraft carrier demonstration of a low-observable unmanned combat air system.
